@NamechangeTTC Are you using anything else along with these? Like the easy@home ones. I go on about these so much you'd think I was the founder of them lol. But anyway I really like them so maybe try that along with these ones and also temp?

NamechangeTTC · 31/08/2020 18:17

@ReginaaPhalange lol maybe just wait until morning. Did your other FRERs arrive yet? The ones that weren't prime.

ReginaaPhalange · 31/08/2020 14:02

Should I test with a FRER about 5pm tonight? or hold off until tomorrow morning lol? I can hold my wee until then as I don't need - last went at 11 haha!!! I have ran out of my eas@home but ordered more and should be here tomorrow.

@Kaybobx awww guys you are all so sweet!! Cannot believe my luck that all you wonderful ladies commented on my post all those months ago. Truly amazing!! Thank you xx

Myfitnesspal is awesome, by working out your macros and what you need each day in terms of protein, cards and fats it makes it so much easier. I would make lunches in batches so I had the whole week and didn't have to struggle when going to work. Truly is a fab app.

Kaybobx · 31/08/2020 13:23

@candycrush2298 your aren't out yet anyway, dust yourself off and keep going. You've got this girl ❤

@Elakiya I'd defo recommend my fitness pal app to track your meals. If you get your PT to input the settings for you then its really easy to follow. You can adjust how much protein, fats, calories but you need it to match your weight etc to be effective

@Welliedays awww I actually just got tearful thank you so much. You are such a sweetheart. I honestly appreciate your kind words. I truly just feel like I need to be more positive for myself I am dragging myself down with this negative cloud over my head and pessimistic thoughts. So I promise when I say I am going to be more upbeat I mean it for myself as much as for you guys. I need to think positive and appreciate what I have in my life right now and whats all happening around me and focus on those great things rather than the fact that we aren't conceiving.

And dam right the holiday is going to be soooo amazing really think we need to bd for fun in exciting new place and because we want to not because we have too

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 31/08/2020 13:18

@Elakiya no way! That's fab we're peaking together. Here's my tests, its not quite there but this evenings test will be blazing im sure. I'm CD 11 so a couple of days earlier than usual.

Welliedays · 31/08/2020 13:15

Right, firstly @candycrush2298 don't ever apologise for having down posts, or promise you'll always be upbeat. We aren't here just for the good days, we're here for the bad ones too. A problem shared is a problem halved and I bet you felt so much better after you wrote it all down? I completely agree with what @elakiya said though, I have nothing more to say that she hasn't already!! It sounds like work is getting exciting and your holiday is just the break you need - I hope you have a great time and actually enjoy the BDing without any tracking. I think holidays are great for destressing too, so hopefully with that and the soy you'll be giving yourself a good chance.

@Elakiya thanks hun I am actually looking forward to it if I am honest. Just not thinking about anything and just enjoying each other.
As soon as you can I hope you are able to take the break.

I literally bought a fitbit wore it everyday. Made sure I walked 10k steps everyday, exercised for 45 min a day using YT home workouts and restricted my calories to 1400 per day. I used recipes from slimming world website and made myself so many tasty meals. Used the app myfitnesspal to log all my meals, I would create the recipes on there with the exact ingredients I use to make sure my calories were accurate. I weighed all my food and I did IF 18/6.

Elakiya · 31/08/2020 12:59

@candycrush2298 Yep you do that enjoy your holiday and ignore ttc for a month. It's the break you need and a holiday after the year everyones had sounds amazing. Hope you have a lovely time. This is something your mental health really needs. Mine too I need a break.

I'm thinking of joining slimming world. What did you do to lose weight?

@ReginaaPhalange I took them all at once literally before I closed my eyes to go sleep to avoid any side effects that I have seen it can cause.

ReginaaPhalange · 31/08/2020 12:22

@candycrush2298 do you take the 3 tablets in one go or space them out throughout the day?
